Endocrine Disorders NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which psychosocial problem should be included in the plan of care for a female client diagnosed with Cushing's syndrome?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Body image disturbance addresses Cushing’s physical changes (e.g., moon face, hirsutism), a key psychosocial issue. Glucose, suicide, and healing are physiological.
Question 2 of 5
Based on the knowledge that clients with Cushing's syndrome heal slowly, which nursing measure is most appropriate during the client's postoperative period?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Increased dietary protein supports tissue repair and healing in Cushing's syndrome.
Question 3 of 5
Which signs/symptoms should the nurse expect to assess in the 31-year-old client who has a sustained release of growth hormone (GH)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Excess GH (acromegaly) causes facial and bone enlargement (e.g., forehead, maxilla). Height increase occurs pre-puberty, headaches are nonspecific, and extreme hypertension is unrelated.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is developing a care plan for the client diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The nurse identifies the problem 'high risk for hyperglycemia related to noncompliance with the medication regimen.' Which statement is an appropriate short-term goal for the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Demonstrating correct insulin injection technique addresses noncompliance, a short-term, client-centered goal. Glucose levels and kidney function are outcomes, and nurse monitoring is not client-focused.
Question 5 of 5
The client diagnosed with hyperthyroidism is complaining of being hot and cannot sit still. Which should the nurse do based on the assessment?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Heat intolerance and restlessness are hyperthyroidism symptoms; vital signs assess for exacerbation (e.g., thyroid storm). Monitoring, sedatives, or rest are less appropriate.
